技术领域 technical field
本实用新型有关一种雷射定位切割装置,特别涉及一种提供物件持固定位,并能配合雷射刀具模块的有效切割行程,将物件进行翻转,以利切割作业进行的雷射定位切割装置。The utility model relates to a laser positioning and cutting device, in particular to a laser positioning and cutting device that provides a fixed position for an object and can cooperate with the effective cutting stroke of a laser cutter module to turn the object over to facilitate the cutting operation. .
背景技术 Background technique
雷射切割是利用雷射刀具发出高能量,对于物件进行切断或表面切割加工,使物件呈现预定的型态。Laser cutting is to use laser cutters to emit high energy to cut or surface cut objects to make the objects present a predetermined shape.
目前业界所采用的雷射切割装置具有:一固定部;一挟持部,设置于上述固定部前侧,该挟持部设有二挟持臂;以及一雷射刀具模块,设于上述挟持部上方。The laser cutting device currently used in the industry has: a fixing part; a clamping part, which is arranged on the front side of the fixing part, and the clamping part is provided with two clamping arms; and a laser cutter module, which is arranged above the clamping part.
如上述构造,于生产在线,预先将物件以夹具自物件上、下端将物件包覆,仅露出预定加工的部分,藉由该挟持臂自物件两侧,侧向挟持该夹具,使物件定位并使物件预定加工的部分正对上方的该雷射刀具模块,供该雷射刀具模块发射雷射能量对物件进行切割作业。上述物件可为一传输排线,利用雷射刀具模块对传输排线表面的绝缘遮蔽皮层断除作业。According to the above structure, in the production line, the object is covered with the clamp from the upper and lower ends of the object in advance, and only the part to be processed is exposed. The clamping arm clamps the clamp laterally from both sides of the object to position the object and The part of the object to be processed is directly facing the upper laser cutter module, so that the laser cutter module emits laser energy to cut the object. The above-mentioned object can be a transmission cable, and the laser cutter module is used to cut off the insulation shielding layer on the surface of the transmission cable.
传输排线是讯号传输系统中不可或缺的传输媒介,传输排线之所以能发挥传输功能,是藉由其多数条等距且相互平行金属线材(一般为铜线)来传导讯号,为了防止金属线材受到不当接触,而造成短路现象,于传输排线的外表必须包覆有一绝缘遮蔽皮层。由于传输排线要能发挥讯号传输的功效,必然要与连接器进行衔接。当要进行传输排线的衔接工作前,操作人员即必须将传输排线欲衔接端部的绝缘遮蔽皮层断除一段适当的长度,才能够让包覆于绝缘遮蔽皮层内的多数金属线材的线头裸露出来,以利衔接。但由于传输排线的绝缘遮蔽皮层为能包覆所有金属线材而呈片状,不但壁面薄,且宽幅甚长,加上传输排线内的金属线材也相当的细长,在断除的过程并非可如同家庭电线般,以简易的拨线钳一夹一拉即能将线头剥出,而必须藉由雷射切割装置来进行切割作业。The transmission cable is an indispensable transmission medium in the signal transmission system. The reason why the transmission cable can perform the transmission function is that it conducts signals through a plurality of equidistant and parallel metal wires (usually copper wires). In order to prevent Improper contact of metal wires may cause a short circuit, and the outer surface of the transmission cable must be covered with an insulating shielding layer. Since the transmission cable must be able to play the role of signal transmission, it must be connected with the connector. Before connecting the transmission cable, the operator must cut off the insulation shielding layer at the end of the transmission cable to be connected to an appropriate length, so that the wire ends of most metal wires covered in the insulation shielding layer Expose it to facilitate connection. However, because the insulation shielding layer of the transmission cable is in the shape of a sheet to cover all the metal wires, not only the wall is thin, but also the width is very long, and the metal wires in the transmission cable are also quite slender. The process is not like the household wires, where the wire ends can be stripped with a simple clamp and pull, but must be cut with a laser cutting device.
然如上述习用雷射切割装置于实际使用时,由于雷射刀具模块其有效的切割范围仅能及于物件面对雷射刀具模块的表面;因此当操作人员控制该挟持臂自传输排线两侧,侧向挟持包覆传输排线的夹具,使传输排线欲衔接端部顶侧表面的绝缘遮蔽皮层面对雷射刀具模块,再操作雷射刀具模块进行切割作业之后,却因为传输排线底侧的绝缘遮蔽皮层面受到金属线材遮蔽,使雷射刀具模块无法控制以不伤害金属线材的能量,对传输排线底侧的受金属线材遮蔽的绝缘遮蔽皮层进行切割剥除作业。However, when the above-mentioned conventional laser cutting device is actually used, the effective cutting range of the laser cutter module can only reach the surface of the object facing the laser cutter module; Side to side clamp the clamp covering the transmission cable, so that the insulation shielding skin layer on the top surface of the transmission cable to be connected to the end faces the laser cutter module, and then the laser cutter module is operated to perform cutting operations, but due to the transmission row The insulation shielding layer on the bottom side of the cable is shielded by the metal wire, so that the laser cutter module cannot control the energy that does not damage the metal wire, and cuts and strips the insulation shielding layer on the bottom side of the transmission cable that is shielded by the metal wire.
目前业界针对此问题的解决方式,多为在生产在线增设人员,将单侧作业完成的传输排线翻面,对绝缘遮蔽皮层未脱离部分对应雷射刀具模块的行程,再进行二次切割剥除作业。然而上述做法,不仅麻烦,且必须耗费珍贵的人力成本,实非完善。At present, the industry's solution to this problem is to add personnel to the production line, turn over the transmission cable that has been completed on one side, and perform secondary cutting and stripping on the part that is not detached from the insulation shielding cortex corresponding to the stroke of the laser tool module. Delete homework. However, the above method is not only cumbersome, but also consumes precious labor costs, which is not perfect.
又,目前业界也有于生产在线分别设置两组雷射切割装置,分别对传输排线欲衔接端部的上、下表面进行绝缘遮蔽皮层面切割剥除作业。然而雷射切割装置属于高成本设备,增置两组雷射切割装置势必增加成本负担,进而影响获利以及产业竞争力。In addition, at present, the industry also has two sets of laser cutting devices installed on the production line to cut and strip the insulating covering layer on the upper and lower surfaces of the transmission cable to be connected. However, laser cutting devices are high-cost equipment, and adding two sets of laser cutting devices will inevitably increase the cost burden, thereby affecting profitability and industrial competitiveness.
本创作人有鉴于上述习用的雷射切割装置于实际施用时的缺失,且积累个人从事相关产业开发实务上多年的经验,精心研究,终于提出一种设计合理且有效改善上述问题的雷射定位切割装置。In view of the lack of the above-mentioned commonly used laser cutting device in actual application, and accumulated personal experience in related industry development practice for many years, after careful research, we finally proposed a laser positioning that is reasonably designed and effectively improves the above-mentioned problems. cutting device.
